If you execute the attached workspace...
You get fme_text features with empty fme_text_string (but TextString has a value).
Any suggestions?

fme_text features with empty fme_text_string. Could it be a GEODATABASE_FILE Reader configuration problem?

I don't have ArcGIS, so I can't use the ESRI-version of the Geodatabase reader. However, if I use the OpenAPI Geodatabase reader I can see all points have a TextString attribute (which is not the same as fme_text_string).
So then a LabelPointReplacer to turn them into actual text objects does the trick.

Your screenshot shows at least one feature with an fme_text_string so it's probably not a configuration issue. Are you 100% sure all features should have a fme_text_string?

FME recognizes all features as fme_text, so according to the documentation I expected the fme_text_string, fme_text_size and fme_rotation attributes to have values.

Seems. If you open the gdb of the example in ArcGIS you will be able to see the texts. But if you read the annotations with FME, fme_text_string is missing.

Thanks @Hans van der Maarel. The TextPropertyExtractor transformer seems to fix the problem as well.
